MANILA — Amid the coronavirus pandemic, MYX Philippines is pushing through with its annual awards show but through a virtual celebration.

Set to happen on Saturday, the country’s top artists will be honored in the first-ever virtual MYX Awards that will be available on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

Aside from exciting performances from OPM artists, a number of international acts are also set to make an appearance for the online viewers. Among them is Vietnamese-American artist Keshi, who is the voice behind the new song "2 soon."

Also set to hit the virtual stage of the MYX Awards is American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, who is the daughter of of Star Trek and Star Wars director JJ Abrams. Carving her own path in the music scene, the 20-year old Abrams released two singles, "Mean It" and "Stay," in 2019. She also released just recently a seven-track album called "minor."

The 2020 MYX Awards will be hosted by Ai dela Cruz, Anton Fausto, Dani Mortel, Edward Barber, Robi Domingo and Samm Alvero.
